Dynamic complexity cost for `metafieldsSet` mutation
UpdateUnverifiedAdded Sep 24, 2026
The metafieldsSet mutation now uses dynamic complexity costing. Instead of a flat cost for every call, a request's cost reflects how many distinct resources metafields were changed. Most apps need no changes, as updating a single resource remains cheap. Apps setting many metafields across many different owners may hit their rate limit faster.
